Peggy McCulley

Jackson, TN - Peggy McCulley, a dedicated schoolteacher for 39 years, passed away on May 17, 2024, at the age of 73 surrounded by her loving husband and children.
 
Her journey began in Corinth, MS on June 22, 1950, the daughter of the late Vester and Bobbie Nell Nunnally Carter.
 
Peggy's life was marked by her unwavering commitment to education. She touched the lives of many students during her teaching career at Dyersburg, Yorkville, Kenton and Spring Hill schools. Even after retiring from teaching, she found joy in working at Lambuth University and then later at Bethel University. 
 
Apart from her professional accomplishments, Peggy was a talented pianist and organist who shared her gift with various churches over the years. She found solace in cooking for her family and cherishing moments spent caring for them. An avid reader, Peggy immersed herself in books, finding inspiration and knowledge within their pages. Peggy also loved graphic design at Lambuth and Bethel. Her beloved cat Willow brought her comfort as a faithful companion.
 
Peggy's warm and nurturing spirit will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her loving husband Dave McCulley of Jackson, TN; devoted son Jeremy McCulley of Nashville, TN; adoring daughter Laura McCulley of Jackson, TN; and caring sister Dianne Williams and her husband Johnny of Bloomington, Wisconsin.
